I am looking for my Godmother's recipe which I remember from my childhood.She called them "hunky punky" but I think they were some sort of fried doughnut or fried bread.She told me they were a Bohemian recipe.Unfortunately there was nothing in my grandmothers recipe books and my godmother's were destroyed.Can anyone help.
Mum used to do fried scones.....just a simple scone mixture, roll out and cut into squares or rounds, then deep fry until golden....I remember them dripping with butter and golden syrup....no wonder I am a big girl and have bowel problems LOL

I hear ya - a food "legacy" from my dad is dripping (fat) on toast. Fortunately I don't do roasts, but the damage was done when I was younger!
